There is no downside to it all, and thats why I doubt they would let you do it.

Just for shits and giggles, I just tried it with 5dimes and got the following message:

Selections 276 New Orleans Saints* and 276 New Orleans Saints* are invalid within the same Parlay. Please make a different selection.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

I thought about doing this too, both the bet you described and also parlaying Saints winning NFC Championship and the Superbowl, but 5dimes doesn't let you parlay futures. So, I put 6 bucks on the Saints winning the whole thing to win $90 something...

i use oddsmaker and i haven't put the bet yet but it seems to be allowable. im definitely putting that $100 to win $2700. i really dont see us not winning the title this year

That'll be a nice hit if the Tigers pull it off, which we should if Mett is half as good as he's billed to be. I just hate to tie up money for that long in a futures bet.

Last year was my first time really getting into gambling and that was the first thing I tried to do. But no, it's not allowed.
